The current log space reservation code allows multiple wakeups of the
same sleeping waiter to happen. This is a just a waste of cpu time as
well as increasing spin lock hold time. So a new XLOG_TIC_WAKING flag is
added to track if a task is being waken up and skip the wake_up_process()
call if the flag is set.
Running the AIM7 fserver workload on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread
Broadwell system with a small xfs filesystem on ramfs, the performance
increased from 91,486 jobs/min to 192,666 jobs/min with this change.
